Veloce Racing Winton Nov 2017
It had been almost twelve months since the Madame Sud was out on the track, so I was super-excited. For another year the NSW-based Veloce Racing Association organised a racing round at Winton Raceway, so we travelled up to join them. The all-Alfa field of 12 race cars was a support category for the Winton 300 endurance race. The racing was super-close this year, with 5-6 cars all qualified within a second of each other. Fellow...
1750 GTV – Nov 2017
Welcome back to the ongoing slow restoration of this 1750 GTV. This post covers a period effectively from May until now, with not a huge amount of action. Back in May we had a couple of vinyl repairs done to my very-good-but-not-quite-perfect dash. I’m quite happy with the results, certainly good enough for me. The dash is now fitted, see below. Back in May, the rebuilt engine was started for the first time also. In...

AROCA Winton Nov 2016
Two weekends in a row at Winton Raceway, this time for our own club track day with supersprints and racing. The day turned out to be quite warm, well into the 30s which provided some challenges. We had a strong field of 13 starters in the racing, which was fantastic. I had some good competition in every race, especially from Adriano (car #91) who was not giving an inch and I was unable to get in front in either of race 2 or 3. I...
Veloce Racing Winton Nov 2016
The Veloce Racing Association is based primarily in NSW, and runs a great all-Alfa series including the famous East Coast Challenge run across Victoria, NSW, and Queensland. I missed last year’s Winton round of the ECC due to other commitments, but couldn’t miss it this year despite it being so close to our own Alfa Racing round the following weekend. Neil Choi and I took our cars up to represent Victoria against the...
